Swift Field installable Fusion Splice-on Connector
For FTTx installation and deployment, the mechanical
connectors have been widely used, but that is to say
Drop Cable
up till now. Even though the fiber installers know the
problems associated with low quality, weak durability
Aerial Closure
and high installtion and maintenance cost of the
Terminal box
mechanical connectors, they have avoided using
splice-on connectors just because the cost is too high.
Ilsintech has turned a new concept into a clad
alignment fusion splicer called Swift-F1 basing on
Ilsintech's high precision technology of optical
Swift Connector
Swift Connector
industrial field which has been accumulate in the past
and performs 5 multi-operational tasks including heatstripping, cleaning, cleaving, splicing and sleeving
ONU
systematically.

Fiber Socket
On one hand, Ilsintech has applied the fusion splicing
technology of Swift-F1 to the field-installable splice-on
connector as it is and integration of the ferrule part
FTTH Application Diagram
improves the field work efficiency dramatically. On the
other hand, Ilsintech has resolved the problems associated with low quality, weak durability and high installation
and maintenance cost of mechanical connectors, reduced the manufacturing cost of splice-on connector and
supplied at the high price, by completing the development of field-installable fusion splice-on connector, which is
complementary to Swift-F1, so anybody can use the filed-installable fusion splice connector.
The splice-on connector can be used not only in the field of communication but also widely used in advanced
technical fields including avionic, space, military, ship-building and power plant.

Structure and Features
Figure 1. Ferrule:
The ferrule has been applied with sheath, so it can be stripped, cleaved and spliced the field.

① Splice the fiber of the ferrule with the primary fiber
② Sleeve the uneven part and aramid stiffener of the primary fiber and cable by heat shrink
③ Assemble the ferrule and boot and then clamp the external cable by using clamp
cap(special feature) Even if the ferrule is pressed toward the primary fiber, the ferrule can
be bent up to the clamp gently, because the ferrule brush is sleeved in the inside of the
stop ring, also bending the fiber sharply is prevented. Additionally, the primary fiber and
external cable are clamped together for high tensile force (more than 60N) Advantages and

[Advantages]
No need for
- epoxy, polishing and matching gel in the field
- preparing optical cable in a length such as pigtail and patch code
for extra optical fiber cables
- Space in contact closure clusters for storing the sleeves
- Realization of high fiber optic properties
- worker's special skill
- special equipment (ie. Angle cleaver) for APC connector work
[Benefits]
- Being able to fusion splice Swift Connector directly
- Protecting the fusion splicing point inside of the Swift connector body
- Being able to measure the fiber optic properties from the end of the optical
cable in the same as the ordinary fusion splicing
- Enabling cluster operations to meet the customer's optimal demand
- Saving capital expense and work time
- No need of special training FTTx installation of backbone network
- Being able to implement insertion loss and return loss

1. As shown above in the figure 3 and 4, if a manufacturer supplies the sheath fiber of the ferrule which have been cleaved and
stripped already
① The surface of the fiber can be oxidized by exposing the sheath of the optical cable in air for long time
② During the field work process, damage and handling cautions are required
(the major cause for the work efficiency to be reduced and defect ratio and cost of production)
③ Difficult to work because the ferrule must be bonded by epoxy as 125um bare fiber
④ Hard to polish the ferrule after epoxy-bonding
⑤ Problematic to process quality test after polishing work
⑥ Troublesome to cleave and package
[Major Cause]
The major reason, that the manufacturer strip the sheath of fiber in advance and then commercialize, is that they can not resolve
the technical problems associated with fiber stripping defect, hackle on the fiber surface and separation between ferrule which
can take place in the field during the mechanical stripping.
- Ilsintech has resolved the problems completely in Swift-F1 fusion splicer basing on its supreme precision processing
technology. (PCT/KR2010/065973)
2. If the sock observer of the stop ring is sleeved by heat shrink sleeve after fusion splicing the ferrule fiber and primary fiber and
the ferrule takes a load toward the primary fiber, the fiber can be disconnected as shown in Figure 5, because of the rapid
transformation in the fiber
- To resolve this problem, the ferruled is installed to disperse the transformation of which the structural features are shown in
Page 4. (PCT/KR2010/005713)
